Description

Also known as the Ditching Whistle, this iconic piece was issued to RAF and USAAF pilots during both World Wars. If a pilot was shot down, the whistle was used to attract attention. These reproductions have been carefully crafted to reflect the day-to-day wear of the originals, complete with authentic markings of "The Acme Thunderer" and "Made In England" stamped on the front. Measuring approximately 4.5cm in length and 1.5cm across, the whistle comes equipped with a keyring attachment point, just like the ones worn on flight jackets. Packaged in a stapled cardboard display box, these whistles offer an authentic look and feel, making them essential for any British or US reenactor or WWII collector.
